A delightful twist on the classic Irish omelette, this recipe combines fluffy eggs with creamy potatoes and fresh herbs for a satisfying meal.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place them in separate bowls.
Ensure no yolk gets into the whites to help them whip up properly.
Mix the egg yolks with the mashed potatoes, salt, pepper, chopped chives, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Blend thoroughly to ensure even seasoning throughout the mixture.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Use a clean, dry whisk and bowl for best results.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the potato mixture.
Fold gently to maintain the airiness of the egg whites.
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the mixture. Cook until the bottom is golden.
Swirl the pan gently to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the top is puffed and lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent over-browning.
Serve the omelette immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
